The Indian entertainment world reels from Arijit Singh’s firm decision to bow out of movie playback singing. Amid the surprise, Sona Mohapatra has emerged as his biggest cheerleader, hailing the move as a beacon of empowerment.
Through an inspiring Instagram note, Sona portrayed Arijit’s shift as the start of an exhilarating independent voyage, driven by compelling personal factors. ‘Finding yourself, crafting music your way – pure bravery,’ she declared, noting its trailblazing status in a conformist field.
She spotlighted systemic issues: skilled artists confined to unpaid demos, while safe, repetitive choices dominate due to industry inertia. ‘No risks, just the easy repeat. Hope dangles, but real chances evaporate,’ Sona critiqued sharply.
Optimistically, she predicted ripple effects benefiting emerging voices. Dismissing doomsday views, Sona asked: ‘Why fear change? He’s making music anew. Let’s crave diverse flavors over eternal sameness.’
Applauding freedom-seekers, she marked this as innovation’s genesis. In tribute, Sona raised a glass to Arijit’s happiness-filled horizon and standalone music thriving freely. His choice doesn’t close doors – it flings them wide for a vibrant, artist-led future.
